The Saudis would only drive them too quickly and wreck them in rollovers, anyway.

That or have them shipped to London during Ramadan, double-park them everywhere.

That is a lot of tanks. What are the Saudis worried about?

The Swiss have always supported anyone with cash money. They have never cared where or how it was obtained, which is why there is still suspected to be gold melted from holocaust victims in the Swiss vaults.

The Dutch claim 60.000 kg's of it.

News got out they won't pursue as it might be too hard to prove.....

Jerry is probably promising the Saudis a load of modern leopards but is, in fact, planning on duping them with new build 3/4 scale Tiger Is. They reckon they'll never know the difference.  :old:


On an interesting note. The Saudis approached us last year and are interested in 200-400 new build M2A2 ODS-SA Bradleys. They have been dragging their feet on the deal quite a bit though.  :headscratch:

There would be only one local rival against which they'd be arming - and its not to the west.
